Narrative:
A complaint was telephoned in about my speed and altitude. This is a fairly common occurrence during these types of missions. I feel like this happens because of the difference in perspective from people on the ground and what the aircraft is actually doing. These types of complaints are going to be hard to prevent. Good public relations and public awareness will help to prevent these types of complaints.
